Well...I showed up exactly at my scheduled appointment time, in the dark, in the pouring rain. I walked in, and they had their only Leaf sitting on the showroom floor. I got to sit inside, take lots of pictures, but...no test drive! They had no recollection of inviting me in for a test drive, and absolutely refused to take the car out in the rain. When I made a fuss because I literally drove 30 miles in the rain to get there, and they never even bothered to call me to let me know it wasn't going to happen, they invited me back the next day (today) for a test drive -- "only once around the block, so we don't put too many miles on the car!". I'm now waiting for a call to find out if/when this is going to happen.
As I was leaving, the "Leaf certified" salesman also informed me that I should make sure I bring my checkbook/credit card with me for the $1000 deposit. I said I already placed my $99 deposit and I had no intention of giving more until the car is at the dealer. He said that if I want the car, I'd better! He also said he wants to do a credit check on me when I come in. I also said no, I'm not doing that until the car is physically here and paperwork is being drawn up. He again said that it's not an option. I'm regretting my choice in dealerships right about now, that's for sure....
